“The general counsel's 10-page memorandum to the field was breathtaking,” Lotito said. “It’s almost like, ‘We're here to remake labor law.’”
The Trump board took “an excessively narrow approach to defining an independent contractor that is inconsistent with both the common law and the goals of the Act,”“I certainly think the law as it is written now should correctly be read far more broadly in a variety of ways.” Under President Donald Trump, the NLRB “very narrowly defined the scope of protected activity and limited the channels employees can use to engage in such activity,” McFerran said in June. "The law is intended to be read much more broadly in its coverage and to broadly protect workers' ability to come together and engage in self-advocacy.”
One of the most significant areas for the board to focus its attention on is so-called Gissel bargaining orders.that if an employer is found to commit labor practices that prevent a free and fair election from being held — in that case, Gissel Packing — the agency can order the employer to recognize the union.

Unions brought about safe work places, child labor laws, and good wages for the american worker. Unions enabled the worker to have a seat at the table not just corporate lawyers
I think everyone that had a family member die from COVID-19 take their Republican governor to court! The law is clear (involuntary Man-slaughter), yes it’s a law and they don’t have to be directly involved but what they said caused harm and or death!
Good. Time to level the playing field and not make it virtually impossible for unions to organize.
Companies that knowingly in rich themselves by breaking employee laws?
